Missions in the Resource Fair
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with CBF field personnel and purchase from the missions marketplace. All items in the marketplace come from areas where CBF field personnel live and serve.
Silent art auction
While in the resource fair, be sure to browse artwork that is part of the silent art auction. This annual event includes artists from around the world like Nyoman Darsane, who was born in Bali. When Darsane studied art in Java, he met a Christian woman who later became his wife. Darsane returned to Bali as a professional artist and Christian. As he sought ways to combine Balinese arts with the message of the gospel, his motto became “Bali is my body. Christ is my life.” Darsane’s paintings use the contemporary Balinese settings, clothing and culture to communicate the stories and themes of the bible. Twenty-five of his paintings were recently exhibited at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York City.
Learn about CBF's Offering for Global Missions
At the "Embrace the World - Live!" ministry workshop, the CBF Offering for Global Missions story comes alive when field personnel represented in the focal stories explain in person how lives are changed because you give. Bring your camera, pen and paper and take your own photographs and take down your own stories for promoting the CBF Offering at your church.
